Hi VJ Family,

I'm USC petitioning my parents. My "own" income doesn't meet poverty guidelines and I'm filing taxes with my husband, OUR combined income meet poverty guideline: My question is, Do I have to submit another I-864 for him as a joint sponsor or I-864A will be enough to support our document? Please help. Thanks a lot.

You fill out the I-864 and your husband fills out the I-864A to combine his income with yours.

Yay! Thank you very much!

Question number 2: On Part 3 Number 2, asking: Check a box: I am sponsoring the following family members immigrating at the same time or within 6 months of the principal immigrant named in Part 2 (My Mom). Do not include any relative listed on a separate visa petition,

meaning I don't have to write down my DAD as a Family Member 1? THanks for all your help guys!

I just want to clarify things: sorry for all the confusions, I just don't want to delay this process.

Since, my husband is signing I-864A, Husband don't need to file another I-864 being a joint sponsor?

No. Read through the instructions for the I-864 and I-864A. Your husband is filling out the I-864A as your qualifying household member and your incomes will be combined together on your I-864. Your husband is not acting as a joint sponsor.
